Holding Recirculate button
Hi all,
After learning that the A/C comes on automatically when pushing the recirculate button, I thought holding it down might produce a different result.... it did, but I don't know what it was.
When I held the recirculate button, both the fresh and recirculate lights starting flashing. Anyone know what this signifies? I'd love to find a work around for the A/C coming on...... of course, then I'd probably complain that the windows fog up.

Thanks, Kwiker.
I searched here in a number of different ways but using terms like: holding recirculate button, result in too broad of a result since it finds every thing with "any" of those words. Maybe I need a search lesson.

I can't remember, but it wasn't too long.... less than 15 seconds for sure. It might depend on what was selected to begin with. i.e. maybe it only works with Auto off. Or with recirc activated first etc. I can try it again when I get home.

You must have your a/c turned on (the compressor) and then just hold down the recirc button for about 5 seconds and both lights will flash. After that, the a/c will automatically cycle between outside air and cabin air.

To get some fresh air every once in a while....if the air you are traveling through is fresh. I went through some pretty rank air last weekend during a drive with some S2000 guys.

From: http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-...issan-350Z.pdf
pages 4-4 and 4-5:
Air recirculation/Fresh air
Each time the air intake button is pushed, the indicator light on the button will alternate (Air recirculation) and (Fresh air).
When the indicator light is on, the interior air is recirculated. (When the air recirculation mode is selected with the A/C indicator off while the fan control dial is in the AUTO position, the air conditioner will turn on.)
When the indicator light is on, the outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment. I - When the air intake button is pushed for longer than 1.5 seconds, both indicator lights (x and y) will flash twice, and then the intake air will be controlled automatically. During this AUTO mode, the indicator light of the currently selected mode illuminates.
I - When the air flow control dial is in the or position, the air recirculation
mode does not activate.
It has little icons in the text that I couldn't paste, so follow the PDF link to read it yourself.

who would have guessed?
